Review of The Inn Berlin

I have celiac disease, which makes traveling on vacation not much of a vacation as it involves lots of planning and anxiety in sorting out what I will be eating on the trip. This was not the case for our trip to Berlin, MD thanks to the Inn Berlin as it is completely gluten free!! The accommodations and food were absolutely amazing, and even more amazing, is that my husband (a non-Celiac) enjoyed it just as much! In addition to our stay (which includes breakfast), my husband worked with Maya, the owner, to set up a menu for private dining the three nights that we were there, including a birthday dinner for me. In addition, my husband added on the packed lunches package for our two full days there so we could have lunch on our day trips sightseeing. I didn’t have to pack a cooler of food to eat (like I normally do on trips) and I didn’t have to do research on safe places to eat (and deal with the anxiety that maybe they weren’t so safe). It was truly a Celiac’s paradise!

But even more so, the hospitality and food were just spectacular. Our first night for dinner, my birthday dinner, we started off with a salad with delicious greens from a local farm followed by Surf-n-Turf. My husband and I agreed it was the best steak we have ever had, perfectly cooked! And the lobster was delicious. We finished off dinner with a delightful ginger snap cheesecake. Our second night, we had Spanish Tapas. My husband, who studied abroad in Spain, was especially excited for the Tortilla de Patatas, and it did not disappoint. I especially like the dates filled with goat cheese and wrapped in bacon, so, so good! Our last night, we had Italian. We started off with an appetizer of cantaloupe wrapped in prosciutto, a refreshing and tasty starter, followed by a delicious salad and pasta, half bolognese and half fettuccine alfredo. Then for the encore, a scrumptious tiramisu. Honestly better than the tiramisu we had in Italy; it was so good! Our breakfasts and packed lunches were just as amazing. I had the continental breakfast while my husband did Chef’s choice. All of it was so good! I also really appreciated the packed lunches because we could go off and do anything, and I didn’t have to worry about food, or put in effort to put something together. We could just go do what we wanted and have fun! I’ve added pictures for reference of most of our meals.

The location of the Inn Berlin is also great! Easy drive to Assateague and Ocean City. Walking distance to downtown Berlin. Maya was super helpful in giving us ideas of things to do. We had a blast exploring the local sites. However, truly, the highlight of our trip was eating all the yummy food. Maya was so kind to us and truly took care of everything we asked for, making our trip so relaxing and enjoyable. We are already trying to figure out when we can come back as I think this place is going to become a semi-annual trip for us.
